Между юных подруг -- словно в тернии крин.»

Меж бесплодных деревьев лесных,

Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)

« Je suis une fleur des champs, je suis un lys de la vallée. »
« Ma colombe, au sein blanc,
Parmi ses jeunes amies, comme un lys au milieu des épines. »
« Comme un myrte en fleurs parfumées,
Parmi les arbres sans fruit de la forêt,
Mon amour, parmi ses jeunes amies.
Où es-tu, mon amour, ma belle ? »
